gnome-keyboard-applet lacks some external symbols necessary for plugins

[Sergey V. Udaltsov]

When I am trying to use gswitchit-plugins with gnome-keyboard-applet, I see this:

[1142616836,000,gswitchit_plugin_manager.c:_GSwitchItPluginManagerAddPluginsDir/] Bad module: [/usr/lib/gswitchit/flags.so], /usr/lib/gswitchit/flags.so: undefined symbol: GSwitchItPluginContainerReinitUi
[1142616836,000,gswitchit_plugin_manager.c:_GSwitchItPluginManagerAddPluginsDir/] Bad module: [/usr/lib/gswitchit/highlight.so], /usr/lib/gswitchit/highlight.so: undefined symbol: GSwitchItPluginContainerReinitUi
[1142616836,000,gswitchit_plugin_manager.c:_GSwitchItPluginManagerAddPluginsDir/] Bad module: [/usr/lib/gswitchit/anim.so], /usr/lib/gswitchit/anim.so: undefined symbol: GSwitchItAppletConfigGetImagesFile

These symbols are "extern" symbols but it seems they are lost during the build process. When I build the applet manually, these symbols presend in the executable. Could the build process be please fixed?

PS As a side request - I am going to release gswitchit-plugins for gnome 2.14 very soon - could Ubuntu provide .deb once they are released?

objdump -T

You can see there are fewer symbols than in the other dump

There are all necessary symbols

Thanks for your bug. That lacks some context, what do you run an how to get those messages? /usr/lib/gnome-applets/gnome-keyboard-applet? what is gswitchit-plugins? do you have an URL to a page about it or something like that?

I just run:

objdump -T /usr/lib/gnome-applets/gnome-keyboard-properties

gswitchit-plugins (the only part of gswitchit which remained on sf.net:):
